Bingo! years ago when UPS was negotiating a contract with the Teamsters, UPS
wanted to take control of our pension plan. The teamsters would have nothing to
do with it and made it a strike issue. Personally, I wanted UPS to control the
pension because I've always thought of the Teamsters as a bunch of crooks and
realized this would probably be an inevitability. UPS went on and contributed
hundreds of billions to our pension plan. The next contract the same thing
happened and warned it would be the last time they would bail them out.

There is a good chance that mine may be cut next year. I have a teamster
pension. So far, UPS has been responsible for paying it but next year the
teamster take control.They are severely underfunded because they've taken the
money UPS contributed for it's employees and paid pensions for retirees of
other companies that didn't contribute as much leaving them underfunded. Now
they say they will have to make *tuff* choices, cutting pensions from as much
as $3,ooo a month or more to $700. They say they won't cut pensions of someone
over 80 or of someone disabled. I was forced into retirement due to disability
and currently on SS disability. However, I don't trust them.

Pensions were never meant to keep paying the salary you received when working.
They were made to make your retirement more comfortable than just having Social
Security. Same was true in selling the idea of 401Ks and we know how well that
worked out. Unless you are a money hound and at least an amateur stockbroker
these often don't work out well at all.
I've read some posts on a board from folks getting these pensions and admitting
that though they're nice to get weren't really all that necessary.

Not so sure the cities *offer* these unsustainable pensions as much as the
unions demand them. Cities are stuck kicking the can down the road for some
other mayor to fix.

City problems are due to really incompetent people running them be they
Republican or Democrat. They've done stupid things like offer unsustainable
pension plans to attract new employees. I still think those were sold to them
because Wall Street wanted to gamble with that money. We've allowed these
people to run things because the public is generally apathetic and a lot of
city elections are confusing and corrupt.

Einstein once said,
'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and
expecting different results.'
It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats....... Yet they are still POOR.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and
independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and
should do for themselves.
